Mississ-Zygote
Author: Raine
Date: 11/07/2011 15:42:45
While many people on are rightfully concerned with the idea that we now have corporate personhood in the United States, there is a movement around the country to give personhood rights in a very strange place: Wombs.
Mississippi is one of a handful of states that appears to be taking a huge step backwards when it comes to Women and reproductive rights. There is a particular disturbing organization, Personhood USA, that is pushing personhood. In reading a little more about this, Think Progress has reported the following, via an interview on the Diane Rhem show that it's a lot more radical than that: This ballot initiative is so radical that even Mississippi Catholic Bishops refuse to endorse it. It is no surprise that the National Right to Life group and the Catholic Church want to overturn Roe V. Wade. What I find amazing is why they are not endorsing this initiative: I suspect the Catholic Church and National Right to Life organization has a kinder gentler way to take away women's' rights (do I need to add a sarcasm tag?). I know that our own TriSec has written often of the issues with the Catholic Church and reproductive rights -- so please know, this is not just about women -- it is about the right to plan a family in a personal way. Religion is a personal choice in my opinion -- states sanctioning laws based upon a person's or group's religion is - in my opinion - not constitutional, and sadly we are here - again.
Let's return to Personhood USA and Mississippi's Initiative 26 again. Last June, they sponsored a tour to promote this idea, and to get people to vote for it in the state. Do you know what they called their promotional tour?
Mississippi Personhood Amendment 26 Kicks Off 'Conceived in Rape' Tour Today Yes. You read that right. And here is a little more:
The Primary Mission of Personhood USA is to serve Jesus by being an Advocate for those who can not speak for themselves, the pre-born child. We serve by starting/coordinating efforts to establish legal "personhood" for pre-born children through peaceful activism, legislative efforts and ballot-access petition initiatives.
The war on women's rights is taking an even more disturbing turn. It is now a war on men and the rights they have to reproduce. It's a war on women who have been the victims of rape. This is an all out attack on every person in the United States being done - literally - in the name of Jesus. If you don't consider yourself a feminist simply because you are male, or because it doesn't really effect you, I strongly urge you to reconsider. There are groups out there that are going after far more than vaginas -- they are coming after your sperm too -- regardless of its usefulness to reproduce. Basically, in Mississippi, if this initiative passes, not only would abortion be outlawed, miscarriages would be considered abortion and it will illegal to end pregnancies that never existed. The idea of personhood flies in the face of what true pregnancy means, From NPR: Translation: fertilization does not a pregnancy make. Personhood USA wants a fertilized egg to be classified as a person. In doing so, it appears that a woman could legally lose rights to her own body. What happens to a woman with an ectopic pregnancy? What happens to a woman that has a fetus die inside her? You will recall, a D&C is still considered an abortion.
When you wonder why women fight so hard to keep the rights they have and work for equality... when you wonder why we want more people to stand with us, keep this in mind: Women's rights matter for everyone. We still don't have an Equal Rights Amendment... and there are people out there trying to make sure that a fertilized egg - a zygote (which is not an embryo) - has more rights than I do over my own body -- all in the name of their god.
I respect a person's choice of their faith; what I don't respect is when that faith is used to disrespect and/or control people. What I despise is when religion is used to trump serious medical issues. Family planning, Women's rights -- including the right to choose -- are all part of that. That is more than an opinion -- it is a medical fact. Personhood for a fertilized egg is dangerous to civil liberties as well the health of all women and all Americans.
Think it can't happen you you? Don't sit back and assume it won't -- it is happening to you.
I have been warning people about this for a long time. I wrote this last year.

Mississippi is one of a handful of states that appears to be taking a huge step backwards when it comes to Women and reproductive rights. There is a particular disturbing organization, Personhood USA, that is pushing personhood.
ThinkProgress has been reporting on the disturbing campaign by radical anti-abortion groups to pass “personhood” amendments to state constitutions that would define life as beginning the moment an egg is fertilized. These laws would not only criminalize abortion, but outlaw common forms of contraception as well.
HOYE: Any birth control that ends the life of a human being will be impacted by this measure.
REHM: So that would then include the IUD [intra-uterine device]. What about the birth control pill?
HOYE: If that falls into the same category, yes.
REHM: So you’re saying that the birth control pill could be considered as taking the life of a human being?
HOYE: I’m saying that once the egg and the oocyte come together and you have that single-celled embryo, at that point you have human life, you’ve got a human being and we’re taking the life of a human being with some forms of birth control and if birth control falls into that category, yes I am.
The National Right to Life organization has refused to promote it. Even the Catholic Bishops have refused to endorse the amendment, noting that the bill is so extreme, it could jeopardize their more serious efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade:In the letter [Jackson Bishop Joseph Latino] called Personhood Mississippi “a noble initiative.” However, he said, “I join with Catholic bishops in several other states in not endorsing personhood petitions to be circulated in our Catholic parishes. We have committed ourselves to working for a federal amendment and feel the push for a state amendment could ultimately harm our efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade.”
Let's return to Personhood USA and Mississippi's Initiative 26 again. Last June, they sponsored a tour to promote this idea, and to get people to vote for it in the state. Do you know what they called their promotional tour?
Rebeccca Kiessling has long been an advocate for the personhood rights for every human being, no matter the circumstances of their conception or birth. Rebecca will be answering the “tough” questions on abortion, specifically discussing children conceived in rape, as she was. Conceived in rape and targeted for abortion, Rebecca will explain why Mississippi voters should vote “Yes” on Amendment 26, and what the abortion “exceptions” proposed by many really mean. “I know that most people don’t put a face to this issue. For them, it’s just a concept — a quick cliche, and they sweep it under the rug and forget about it,” Rebecca explains on her website, rebeccakiessling.com. “I do hope that, as a child of rape, I can help to put a face, a voice, and a story to this issue.” Rebecca passionately defends the rights of preborn babies, and was recently quoted at a Personhood hearing as saying, “If you really care about a rape victim, you would want to protect her from the abortion, and not the baby. A baby is not the worst thing that could ever happen to a rape victim – an abortion is.”
The war on women's rights is taking an even more disturbing turn. It is now a war on men and the rights they have to reproduce. It's a war on women who have been the victims of rape. This is an all out attack on every person in the United States being done - literally - in the name of Jesus. If you don't consider yourself a feminist simply because you are male, or because it doesn't really effect you, I strongly urge you to reconsider. There are groups out there that are going after far more than vaginas -- they are coming after your sperm too -- regardless of its usefulness to reproduce. Basically, in Mississippi, if this initiative passes, not only would abortion be outlawed, miscarriages would be considered abortion and it will illegal to end pregnancies that never existed. The idea of personhood flies in the face of what true pregnancy means, From NPR:
"The medical community has really been quite clear about when pregnancy begins," says Dan Grossman, an obstetrician/gynecologist at the University of California, San Francisco, "and that definition is that pregnancy begins once implantation occurs."
That would be the implantation of the fertilized egg into the woman's uterus. One reason doctors don't consider a woman pregnant until after implantation is a practical one — that's when pregnancy can be detected by hormone changes in her urine.
But there's another reason, Grossman says. "It's really only about half of those fertilized eggs [that] actually result in an ongoing pregnancy."
The rest of the fertilized eggs either never begin dividing or never implant. Or they do implant but spontaneously abort. That can happen so early in pregnancy that the woman never even knows she was pregnant.
When you wonder why women fight so hard to keep the rights they have and work for equality... when you wonder why we want more people to stand with us, keep this in mind: Women's rights matter for everyone. We still don't have an Equal Rights Amendment... and there are people out there trying to make sure that a fertilized egg - a zygote (which is not an embryo) - has more rights than I do over my own body -- all in the name of their god.

Morning 
not a whole lot really - only 1 Dem running in my district for state senate and the one guy who needs to go is running uncontested!
Other then that I've put up the BLogger Joe post for this year. Let me know if dates, times, ideas need to be tweaked

We're all quiet on the local front...no statewide offices being contested this cycle, and the Mayor and much of City Council is running unopposed. There are some ballot questions, but I don't think there's anything substantial.
Of course, anyone associated with New York or its environs does completely suck today.

Morning all! I'm sick. :(
(In the icky way, not the "she is sick" way)
Mala, I've seen lots of Black widows this year. Found a rather large family of them under a rock right next to my front steps, later found a large MAMA of one in my car!! (We don't talk about that, so that my family will still ride in the car).
If one should bite you, put ice on it to draw out the venom as well as tie a tourniquet, if the bite is on the arm or leg, to slow the spread of venom.

I can understand not wanted to spread the car news around - I wouldn't ride in mine either if I found one. It just seems odd that we suddenly seeing so many. Its freaking me out!
I've heard that the bite is really painful and you have to get to the emergency room asap. Good thing I live less then a mile from the hospital I guess

Oh right.. nothing goin' on here as far as elections goes. IIRC Connecticut has municipal elections (mayor & city council type stuff) in the off-years.
RI does have big news on the political front tho. The Speaker of the State House has called a closed session of the Democratic caucus (which is the entire GA minus 10 Repubs) to go over the changes to the state's pension system proposed by the Governor & Treasurer. From what I've heard it would basically allow the state to get out of its overdue obligations to contribute to the fund and would add risk to future pensions by rolling them into a 401k.

I am doing well here, busy with subbing and a lot of other stuff. Close to home, my grand niece Emily Rose is at a children's hospital for tests prior to surgery to connect her esophagus to her stomach. (During Emily's first year of life, she has been using a feeding tube as her esophagus was initially connected to her lungs.) Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
There are some local elections in Northwest Indiana, but nothing major. We also had a local marine die: Marine from Elmwood Park killed in Afghanistan.

Morning, comrades!
TriSec has some hope-y, change-y news to report...I have significant interviews book-ending this upcoming weekend (Friday & Monday).
Both are with top-ten ranked healthcare payors, both locally based. One I have been trying to get into for over ten years; it's a victory to me to even get a phone call from them, never mind an actual interview.
The other I've had a love/hate relationship with since about 1999....but it would all be love if the desired outcome occurs.
Stay tuned!

Exactly, that was why I was trying to impress upon people that they are screwing with medical facts.
It's really infuriating. A zygote is not an embryo. This goes so far beyond the discussion of abortion it's not even funny. With regard to what is happening it should raise eyebrows for people who consider themselves 'pro-life' ... It takes away the choice for those that want to raise a family and have children.

Most fertilezed zygotes don't even attach to uterine wall. The get flushed out a woman's body. These people have no respect for women or science

Say gang, circling back to the blog topic…
Mrs. TriSec and I have actually been there. Before Javi, “the usual method†was not yielding the desired results, so we had some professional intervention. We wound up going with the GIFT process, and prodded Mrs. TriSec into producing more eggs than usual via chemical means. We never were able to produce a significant number of fertilized eggs, so after 4 cycles of failed implantation, we did indeed give up. There were about a half-dozen eggs left over, so the clinic asked us what we wanted to do. We were of the same mind; it didn’t help us, but if anyone else can benefit, go for it…so we donated them.
In Mississippi, that means we’re guilty of murder, right? But we also donated; would that be child abandonment under the new personhood statutes? And then we never stopped “practicingâ€â€¦it’s unknown if anything ever happened and failed to implant in the intervening years. (Before Mrs. TriSec had the surgery and rendered the whole matter moot.)
Hopefully not TMI, but I believe our lengthy saga has been well-documented on these intertubes previously. As I have pointed out before, it’s the law of unintended consequences. The way a lot of anti-abortion legislation is worded, it’s also anti-birth control, and anti-advanced reproductive therapy, too. I’ll drag Bob & Raine into this mess too…you ain’t making any babies, you can’t be married in this country anymore!

It won't be announced until 4 PM today. I will definitely have to listen to Randi since she's been going off on Cain the last few days. The scary part is the GOPigs will just circle the wagon and defend him. Everything John Dean said in "Conservatives Without Conscience" is true because these fuckers don't have any morality.

On a side note, who can, for a coveted blog bonus point, explain why the 1964 quarter I have in my pocket will not work in a modern, computer controlled vending mosheen?
I'm guessing it has something to do with the dimesions and silver content
Mala Wins! It is all silver and it weight slighty more or slightly less that a composite metal one.
woohoo

ya know I really don't like how Randi disparages DC. There are people here who are very altruistic in their issues

It also has the most pleasant precious metal ring when it strikes a hard surface.

This is one thing that DOES irritate me.
She paints DC with a very broad brush. I notice it a LOT more from not just her -- now that we live here.

Can you imagine for a moment being in Gloria Cain's position tonite? FOUR women. 4
That isn't just a dalliance -- Cain is a serial harasser.

Am I the only person wondering how many times Herman Cain got away with his sexual harassment and how far it went?

I've long maintaned there are two DCs. One is the official goverment one, the other is the one where people go about the business of living.
It pisses me off when people dump on "DC" and don't bother with the destinction.

The Hermanator, besides being stone stupid, is a massive douche when it comes to women. Question is his serial harrasment a syptom of his stone stupidity?

Well the Republicans finally decided to negotiate on taxes in the "Stoopa Committee".
That's right folks. They've gone back to negotiating with themselves.

The Irony here is that women generally like douche's...
In all seriousness, This woman said in her statement that she said 'STOP, No.' There have been 4 women so far who have states that he was a harasser -- I wonder how many women out there didn't say no.

I rarely say this, but I kinda hope people caught Dr. Maddow tonite. Her interview with the Episcopalian Bishop was all sorts of awesome.
